The least most profitable collection for each brand? Use the field "years" to filter the data to include just the year of 2018. You will need to add a calculated field to the pivot table to calculate the contribution margin ratio. Within each brand, sort the collections by contribution margin ratio, from the largest to the smallest. When creating the pivot table, select "new worksheet". Once the pivot table is 9 created, rename the worksheet to "Q5". 0 1 Year ended 2018 Elements Jeffrey Alexander 2 Most profitable collection Somerset Hudson 3 Least profitable collection Aiden Rochester 4 Interpret your findings.
